Dear comrades!

I am sending you my book on the development of agriculture in the United States.

I would be extremely grateful if I could have comrade Carr's opinion in the event that my book could be read by him with the aid of an English or German translator.

I would also like to obtain from comrade Ballister, if possible, the official publications of the 1920 census (in my book I analyzed two censuses: 1900 and 1910).

If any publisher wished to publish my book in English in the United States, I would like to write a brief preface.

Sincerely yours,
Lenin
